GoogleJSONResponseException

Question

I tried to start using Google Cloud Console and followed after the Google IO tutorial for Geek Serendipity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5u_Owtbfew. I followed all the steps of the tutorial, however, I get an error every time I try to send a request to server. Neither logcat, nor Eclipse console gave any errors, however, I see a toast in the application that says

com.google.apiclient.apis.json.GoogleJSONResponseException:503 Service unavailable... "reason": backend error.

However, in google appengine logs there are no recent error.

Has anyone faced same problem?

Answer 1

I would suggest that you ensure the following:

1) Check that you have set PROJECT_ID correctly in the Consts.java

2) You should definitely see the same message in LogCat. Check this answer to get your LogCat working: Android debugging on device - LogCat doesn't work!

Once LogCat works, you should see the same Exception there, along with another exception such as SocketTimeoutException, or something else that will give you an idea of what went wrong.
